In China, suspects confess to trafficking youngsters to Costa Rica

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Two Chinese suspects have confessed to colluding with an international network to smuggle 300 Chinese youths to Costa Rica, China’s state media reported.

With the help of the Costa Rican Embassy in Beijing, Chinese police discovered some 300 people, most under 18, had applied for a Costa Rican visa using falsified documents, a Beijing public security spokesman told the official English-language newspaper China Daily.

Officials from the Costa Rican Embassy in Beijing told local police they noticed a high volume of visa applications for youngsters from China’s Guangdong Province who claimed they wanted to reunite with their parents who had settled in this Central American country.

However, a police investigation revealed that the applicants’ parents were all living in China and the application documents they used were fabricated.

“It’s been a joint success, especially in regard to protecting the rights of minors, in accordance with the (United Nation’s) Convention on the Rights of the Child, fundamental both for Costa Rica and for China,” Costa Rican Ambassador to China Antonio Burgués told newswire EFE.

Burgués added that “cooperation (between the two countries) has been excellent on the issue of immigration as well as other areas and with mutual benefit” since Costa Rica became the first Central American nation to established diplomatic relations with China in June 2007.
